In particular, the Candlelights and Coolers party demonstrates his ability to cope and help others cope as well. It’s a spontaneous cultural marriage of how we deal with the duress in our own unique way in New Orleans. I hope it remains a tradition so that we never take electric light and hot water for granted. But if you ever find yourself in such a situation, this is a lesson in how to best handle it.

I really loved his description of riding through the dark, dark neighborhoods which took so long to get power after the storm, a very haunting aspect of the city immediately post-K that I do not want to ever forget. It was great to read that. It was so creepy once one left the "island" of uptown for so many months! Driving all directions regardless of the one-way. He did a very good job on those things. I still embrace the loose interpretation of driving laws. I actually miss that part of Post-K life. Wow, to think of all the temporary stop signs, since ALL the traffic signals were down for a long long time!

I also love the typeface he chose for this book too ! I think it’s very well done. I am so happy to hear that you have enjoyed it. I am very proud of him for putting it out there.
